Indeed. Although I do not think there is much to say there: basically
just "emacsclient -t", M-x make-frame-on-tty, and mention that
make-frame-on-display now also works if Emacs was started on a tty.
Patch welcome.

I believe it is fairly well documented in the NEWS file. The Elisp
manual still needs to be updated indeed. Patch welcome.

Not sure what there is to say there.

Yes, both manuals need to be updated before the release.
